What is Rett syndrome
Rett syndrome is a neurological and developmental disorder that mostly occurs in females. Infants with Rett syndrome seem to grow and develop normally at first, but then stop developing and even lose skills and abilities.
I can not tell you how blessed I feel to have 6 healhty children. I thank God everyday for them.
Please join us in prayer for this family.
I am so sorry to hear about your friend's child. I know the heartache of a Rett diagnosis firsthand - my 14 year old daughter was diagnosed at the age of 2. Please tell your friend that there is encouraging research underway. If the parents want to connect with me I can be reached at monica@rsrt.org
